Not entirely. A vessel will float provided its displaced weight is such that there is ample freeboard remaining. If there is no freeboard, there will be nothing to prevent the water from coming inboard and sinking the vessel. On a small boat, buoyancy bags will prevent the boat from sinking to the bottom of the sea, even if filled with water.
What else can I help you with?
The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?
The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.
What does the statement 'the buoyant force of a liquid does not depend on physical statebut on density' mean?
Floating, or buoyancy, depends on the density of the liquid and the density of the object. Water is a pretty dense liquid, and things float in it; they are buoyant. Oil or gasoline are less dense; things that float in water may not float in oil.
Why a cork float in a salt water?
The salt in the water causes everything to have more buoyancy (Meaning it makes things more likely to float.) If you die in the ocean your body is more than likely going to float unless it is attached to something heavier is attached.
The contact force that acts on objects in a liquid or gas and allows objects to float is called density or buoyancy?
buoyant force
What makes things float in water?
Buoyancy force is what causes things to float in water. To calculate buoyancy, use Archimedes' Principle: the buoyancy force of a submerged (or partially submerged) object is the weight of the volume of water that the object displaces. In other words, find the volume of the object that is under water, and multiply that by the density of water (1000 kg/cubic meter) and gravity (9.8 meter/sec/sec). It is also density that makes things float in water. If the object has less density than water, it will float.
Why does bouyancy lift things in water?
Buoyancy is an upward lifting force, which means in the water buoyancy can make things float, for example: a rubber duck, pineapple, softball, etc. And that of buoyancy can make you float in the water.
Why do things float but not others?
because of buoyancy!
The upward force of a liquid or air on an object that helps it float?
The force that makes things float is called buoyancy.
What is the term for the scientific explanation of how things float?
The term for the scientific explanation of how things float is "buoyancy."
What is he name of the force that helps things float?
Buoyancy
Which property of water allows things to float?
The property of water that allows things to float is buoyancy. Water exerts an upward force on objects placed in it, which counteracts the force of gravity pulling the objects down. This buoyant force is what allows objects to float in water.
What makes some things float?
Density of the object and buoyancy of the water/liquid.
How can you make things float?
Objects can float when they are less dense than the liquid they are placed in. This creates an upward force called buoyancy that helps keep the object afloat. By adjusting the weight or shape of an object, you can make it float in water or other liquids.
Why do things float in the air?
Things float in the air when the force of buoyancy (upward force exerted by air or a fluid) is greater than the force of gravity (downward force pulling objects toward the earth). This is known as buoyancy and is what allows objects to float or stay suspended in a fluid or gas like air.
What does buoyancy help with?
High buoyancy=easy to float
Can you make objects that are sinkers float?
It depends on the buoyancy of an object in relation to the liquid it is in.
How does buoyancy float?
Buoancy is the upward force that keeps things floating. I guess it doesn't need surface tension.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy
